Beautiful! Great angle on the portrait shot. The eyes and the catchlights are fantastic. The only thing that distracts me is the portion of the slip/dress below the strap in the bottom right corner. I think there's just too much/little for balance, and my eye gets drawn there rather than to the face. Excellent exposure though!

Nice border - how'd you do it? I like the tones in this shot - it's well composed and exposed. 8

Not only is your model "beaute naturelle" your photo has captured her luminescent face very well. I like the soft even lighting. I'm not sure about the crop - the tilt of her eyes comes down neatly from the corner but I'd like to see more of her face. The other corner is simply an out of focus shoulder (and strap) which doesn't do anything for the picture (except distract). Without the strap and the bit of upper arm, it would work better, but it would require redoing the shot at a slightly differesnt angle. I think having her face against a dark background would be too harsh - not soft and natural - so you made a good choice of using her shoulder I think just needs a little modification. 7

Very prettily framed, and nice light levels. I'm a little amused, though, by the fact that your title suggests a lack of makeup but it looks as if there is not only lip gloss but eyeliner and eyeshadow as well...

I really like this shot. Not only is it composed, and exposed well, the subject is attractive as well. Good clean work.

Comment by Zeissman:
beautiful eyes and face. the crop is quite dramatic, but I am not sure it is optimal

the catchlights in the eyes obscure some detail, and make them look a little blurred. I like the natural look, but for this shot I wish the skin were a little more uniform.
